In practice, with 20-24 AWG wire, expect 3-5 A per contact at a 30°C temperature rise; the actual limit depends on the mating terminal and wire size used in the harness. ## SMT mounting and board layout notes This header is surface-mount only, with solder retention features to hold the part during reflow. The 0.118\" (3.00mm) row spacing and 2-row layout require a compact footprint; ensure the PCB pad pattern matches the TE recommended layout for reliable solder joints. No official replacement or second-source cross-reference is listed—this is the current production part for the Micro MATE-N-LOK 2-position SMT header. ## How this header compares to a through-hole sibling Key differences: 2 vs 4 positions, SMT vs through-hole, and 3.00mm vs 2.50mm mating pitch. The 3-794636-2 is the lower-circuit-count SMT option for space-constrained designs.","metaTitle":"3-794636-2 TE Connectivity Micro MATE-N-LOK Header SMD 2 Pos","metaDescription":"3-794636-2 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Micro MATE-N-LOK header, 2 positions, SMT, tin plating, locking ramp, -40°C to 105°C, UL94 V-0.
